DE WITT G. GOLDMAN is the Demo+
cratic candidate for Lieutenant Cover
nor. He is also the proprietor Of the
Diamond Glass Works at Rayenna and
a rapid free trader. In common with
all other Democrats. he processes the
greatest regard for the laboring man and
is beginning to belch out Democratic by
pocrisy and lOng-faced cant on what the
Bourdons have done for labor. He says
very little. however. about what d. C.
Goldman has done, for the simple reason
that he has run his works for years
largely by imported contract labor.
That's the kind of friend of labor
Goldman is.-Clev Leader.

THE Interstate commerce con- mission
has settled two interesting questions
arising under the national railroad law
by deciding that railroads cannot sell
mileage books, or any other kind of
tickets, to commercial travellers at lower
ratef than are granted the public gener+
ally, and that there is nothing in the
law to prevent the sale of Communication
tickets at any rates which the common
carriers may choose to fix, however far
below those put upon ordinary passen-
ger traffic. Both of these decisions are
in strict accordance with common sense
and public policy. To permit the sale
of tickets at special rates to drummers
or any other class, on the ground that
they give the railroads an unusually
large amount of patronage, would be to
virtually break down the whole law, so
far as it is directed against discriminar
tion.

AN ORIGINAL VERsIoN-There lived
near Alexandria, in Virginia, an old col
Ored man and woman, whom their &C
Quaintances called Daddy and Nanny
Williams. He had had educational adj
vantages. and could read in fashion
peculiarly his own ;but his wife, although
lacking as regards erudition, possessed
great force of character, which she Of
ten displayed in manner that was
very irritating to her husband. When
she became particularly fractions. Dad
dy would take the Bible. and open to
that chapter in Revelation beginning,
"ADd there appeared great wonder in
heaven, a woman clothed with the sun,
and the moon under her feet" etc.
With impressive solemnity he would
read as follows: "An' dere 'peared a
great wonder in heben, womanl" Slow
ly closing the book. he would gaze stern
ly at his now subdued wife, for the pas
sage never failed to produce the desired
effect. t.-Harpers's Magazine for August

CHAIRMAN RYAN's SPEECH.

GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION
Permit me at this first opportunity to
thank the state central committee for
honoring me with the temporary chair
manship of this convention.
hasten to congratulate you as dele>
gates representing Ohio Republican nism
upon the magnificent prospects of its
future and the proud record of the past.
And | utter this, gentleman, as no mere
formal greeting. At no time in the his
tory of state politics since the war has
the Republican party of Ohio stood out
In such strikingly favorable contrast
with Democracy. Not for twenty years
has Republicanism shown itself so SUI
periOr to Democracy IN its business
management, its patriotism and its hon.
esty of purpose.
During the past four years there have
been two administrations in state af-
fairs that may be taken as the best rep
resentatives of their respective parties.
For the years 1884 and 1885 the state
Capitol was a veritable Democratic cit
adel. From turret to foundation stone
was lodged partisan executive, legisla-
tive and judiciary. They took posses
sion of the state government under the
most auspicious of party conditions
Succeeding the thorough business ad-
ministration of Governor Foster they
found a surplus in the state treasury of
$59S,OO0. Two years of "coal-oil" leg
islature destroyed this surplus; and in
addition they expended the current
funds raised by taxation, and they even
anticipated, by overdrafts on county
treasurers, almost $500,000.
The expenditures and appropriations
of this Democratic era have never been
equaled either before or since. They
we're over half a million in excess OF
the Foster administration of 1882 S3,and
S345, 900 in excess of the Foraker ad-
ministration of 1886 81. The result
financially was that when Governor
Foraker and the Sixty-seventh General
Assembly took charge Of the state, they
confronted more than depleted treasu'
| ry, for its contents were not only spent

Long before the hour announced for
the convention Memorial hall was pack.
ed and those arriving on and after
who held tickets were compelled to
wedge in their way and stand up. Mem
bers of the press we're packed in like
sardines without elbow room, while the
spectators were crowded to suffoeatiOD.
1t is estimated that there were between
three and four thousand people unable
to get in. The crowd was attracted
from the fact that it was known that
the Sherman resolution was to be offer
cd sud ngnt was expected. The pro-
ceedings, however, were Of the most
harmonious nature, an d those unable to
gain admittauce are congratulating
themselves that what they had the Gu
riosity to see did not take place. The
decorations were most elaborate, the
principal one being fine design of the
state, with coat of arms around the
name of Foraker in large letters, and a
portrait of Lincoln. Every seat of the
delegates was filled and the stage was
packed to overiowing by distinguished
Republicans from all parts of Ohio. All
members of Congress and ex-members
of Congress, members of the Legisla-
ture and ex-members, and persons who
have participated in Republican con-
ventions for years seemed to be in one
grand cluster upon the large stage, so
that the chairman and secretaries had
very little room for their work.
1t was 4:30 when Hon. A. 7. Brins-
made chairman of the Republican state
central committee, called the convention
to order. Prayer was offered by Rev.
DR.. w. W. Williams, of Toledo, when
Chairman Brinsmade congratulated the
party on the auspicious circumstances
under which Republicans assembled.
The temporary organization was the !
announced. with Hon. d. J. Ryan, of
Scioto as chairman and Hon. j. G. Don>
aldson as secretary. Mr.. Ryan was re-
ceived with great applause and spoke
as follows:

Remedy for Reaches.

Simple remedies are often very ef-
fective. A gentleman several years ago
accidently made the following discovery
He brought home roll of tarred paper
and placed it in kitchen cupboard, in
tending TO use it tho next day. The
cupboard was overrun with reaches.
Other business took him away and the
tarred paper still remained stored there.
His wife, having occasion frequently to
90 the cupboard, noticed there we're no
reaches that day, and remarked the fact
Experiments subsequently, proved that
they would not come where the paper
was kept. The gentleman, knowing of
a house where the reaches we're trouble
some, purchased for five cents half n
yard Of the paper, and induced the lady
Of the house to try it. The result was
not q roach has beon seen there since
This is certainly well worth tho attention
Of housekeepers who are unfortunate
enough to be bothered with these pests
Cut the paper in strips and put them in
the cracks and crevlcos around where
the roaches appear from --Eg.

A Fight to the Death.

"We learn from an observer" says the
Sumter (Ga } Republican, "that bull
was wading along in the edge of the
Flint river swamp last Monday, nippng
cane and keeping cool, when huge al
ligator made dash at his nose, but
missed hold The bull made fight,
and prodded the alligator with his horns.
Then commenced fierce aud bloody en-
counter in the shallow water that beg
gars description. The alligator struck
with his tail and snapped furiously with
bis huge iaMs, tearing the skin and flesh
in big strips from the bull. Tho bull
got his horns into the alligator's side,
and lifting its huge carcass, tossed him
high and dry on the ground, and follow
ing up with deep below rushed upon
its foe. The alligator met him with a
terrible blow Of his tail, knocking off one
horn and bringing the bull to his knees.
The other horn got in under the fore
leg Of the alligator, and the alligator
getting front foot of the bull in its
mouth, they became locked and rolled
and tumblod fcarfully. They got into
the water again, where, after a brief
struggle both expired. The entrails of
the alligator were protruding in several
places, while the bull was nearly strip
ped Of hide and flesh"

again be the same Miriam, that my life
could never again 60 back to its old,

thoughts must not be put into words

so, after little, my answer came, com-
mon place and quiet.

rapturous love was breaking, and in its
golden train sweeping all shadow from

Professor Mavn ard. Of the Massachu.

Professor Mayn ard, Of the Massachu-
sets Agricultural College, advises that
trees be prepared for planting by cutting
the top back in proportion to the amount
Of injury done to the roots, which is gen.
orally from one-half to two.thirds Of tho
entire top. On this pruning all shoots
should be entirely cut away that are not
needed for tho formation Of perfect
head, and the others cut back one-half
to two-thirds Of their length. II the
head is not formed high enough upon
the trunk 1t may often be carried higher
by cutting off all lateral shoots, leaving
the most central one for leader upon
which will be formed the new head sew
eral inches higher than the first. All
injured roots should have the ends cut
smooth with sharp knife, aud with
small fruits, like the grape, currant aud
strawberry, it is often desirable to cut
back some of the larger ones.

To preserve a healthful condition,
maintain the vital warmth, and keep tho
skin in proper action, thorough carding
and brushing should not be neglected in

ness in every respect should be observed.
Abundant supplies of absorbcnts, OF
which dried swamp muck is the best,
and hardwood sawdust and fresh leaves

any other fine waste material should be

Improvement of farm, aud to this end
every possible economy in saving and
preserving the manure should be exer-
